Summary
Summary
The "New True Books" have been produced to fill a very important need. Children are by nature inquisitive and these fact-filled books provide answers to many basic questions.
Students use the New True Books for supplementary work in their classes. They use them to find out about special things that interest them. They read them to learn on their own. Packed with information, each fascinating book encourages children to study independently.
The "New True Books" are effective. Each book is richly illustrated with full-color photographs and art, selected to support the text. A large, easy-to-read typeface is used. Each title contains a table of contents, a glossary, and a complete index.
The "New True Book" series was prepared under the direction of the late Illa Podendorf, formerly with the Laboratory School, University of Chicago.
Remember, children will always have questions, so let the "New True Books" help them find the answers.

School Library Journal Review
Gr 3-6-- A scaled-down version of Morrison's Bolivia (Childrens, 1988), dealing briefly--very briefly (and in large type)--with the geography, history, government, economy, and people of this South American nation. Although the book appears to be a primer, concepts and allusions lift it out of the primary school range of easy understanding. It is, however, good--if once over lightly--reading . Almost all of the illustrations are full-color photographs; two-thirds of them are also in the previous book. Take the Morrison volume as the more complete--and not much more difficult to read. --George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield (c) Copyright 2010.
